Interesting that they did not use the same stamp for the engine and trans.

I believe that after 1969 they stamped (with the same stamp)the engine and trans after bolted together.

I had a muncie trans that had the same VIN stamped 5-6 times !!

That is interesting so St Louis had 2 partial vin stampers?

Not all years, but in 1967 they did. The transmission stamp included the "S".

Mixing letters and numbers can create slight spacing differences within the gang especially if the MFG of an individual stamp made it to a different spacing specification for the characters or older stamps were mixed in to the gang with newer stamps and used together.

I have identified three different stamp vendors that GM used at Norwood - all prior to the advent of VIN font stamps which changed the appearance entirely.
